As one of the longest standing independently owned and operated music venues in the world, First Avenueâ??s roots are deep and far-reaching. From the avant-garde to the mainstream, First Avenue is committed to fostering local artists as well as bringing national music and entertainment excellence to Minneapolis. The Star Tribune nicely summed it up, â??Itâ??s a bar, a rock venue, a dance hall, a downtown landmark, and a music sceneâ??s epicenter.â?? \r\n\r\nThe First Avenue family consists of the First Avenue Mainroom, the 7th St Entry, the Palace Theatre, the Depot Tavern, St. Paul's legendary Turf Club, and First Avenue Productions, LLC. First Avenue, founded in 1970 as Uncle Sam's, is a 1600 capacity venue known as the place Prince shot Purple Rain in 1984. Since then First Avenue has grown to promote over 1,000 yearly events and has become the one-stop shop in promoting and producing entertainment in the Twin Cities. We are dedicated to continuing to make not only First Avenue, but the Twin Cities a premier entertainment destination.\r\n\r\nA few recent awards:\r\n\r\nCity Pages Best Of The Twin Cities (2016)\r\nBest Concert Venue\r\nBest Concert\r\nBest Concert (Touring)\r\nBest Club DJ\r\n\r\nCity Pages Best Of The Twin Cities (2015)\r\nBest Rock Club (Turf Club)\r\n\r\nCity Pages Best Of The Twin Cities (2014)\r\nBest Concert Venue\r\nBest Sound Team\r\nBest Touring Concert - Dâ??Angelo and ?uestlove\r\n\r\nRolling Stone (2013)\r\nThe Best Big Room in America - #3 Mainroom\r\nThe Best Music Venues in America (Readerâ??s Choice) - #2 Mainroom\r\n\r\nComplex (2013)\r\nThe 50 Best Concert Venues in America - #5 Mainroom\r\n\r\nUSA Today (2012)\r\nTen Reasons to visit Minneapolis-St. Paul - #1 First Avenue\r\n\r\nMetromix (2011)\r\n#1 Music Venue Chosen by Touring Musicians\r\n\r\nGibson Guitars (2010)\r\nOne of the Top 10 Rock Venues of All Time - #3 First AvenueFirst Avenue and the 7th St. Entry Address
